WELCOME TO WES!
About Us…
The Writing Equipment Society was established in 1980 and is devoted to the conservation and study of writing equipment and accessories. It has two broad objectives:
- Facilitate the acquisition, preservation and dissemination of knowledge(including the transfer of practical skills), relating to both heritage and contemporary writing instruments, accessories and associated ephemera.
- Provide the opportunity for Society members to interact and share related experiences.
The Society is a not-for-profit organisation, run by volunteer Council Members. By joining, your Membership will help us to keep the Society running for future generations.
